TO WHOM IT MAY GONCERN: t

Be it known that I, EDMUND W'. QUINOY, of Lacon, in the county `of Marshalhinl the State of Illinois, have invented au improvement'in the ordinaryr Dice Boxes; andI do hereby declare that the following is a fulhand exactl description thereof, reference being had to the 4aecompanying drawings and Vthe letters of reference marked thereon.

V Figurel Irepresents a perspective view.

Figure 2, a. vertical section. Y

The nature'of fmy invention consists of a hollow cylindrical box or case, with a cavity A at the uppererld, to receive the case, and a foot B, upon which it stands vertically and firmly. Within the case is a piston red C, with a circular disk D, uponv which the dice rest. At the foot of this piston or rod is a dat` spring E, fastened i to foot of box. AThis spring causes the rod C and disk D to move vertically, and is operated bythe pressureof `the thumb on a. hat key F attached to the rod, and passing through the slot g h. A glasscover, ory reoeivercase E, is inserted the' upper cavityA, so as not to interfere with the motions of the disk D, at the same time to confine .the dice. The operation of this device is obvious. i What I claim is f The arrangement of the disk D, and its connection with the flat spring E, by means of the piston or rod C, and the open bottom, which enables an easy renewal of the spring when necessary, all as and for` the purposes set forth. t I
